What Sets Our Hyperthyroidism Care Apart
At Thyroid Care Kenya, we offer advanced diagnostic and treatment options to ensure comprehensive, personalized care for patients with hyperthyroidism:
​
Routine Thyroid Ultrasound: Every consultation includes a thyroid ultrasound to evaluate gland size and identify thyroid nodules, some of which may be producing excess thyroid hormones. This proactive approach ensures early detection and tailored management.
​Holistic Symptom Management: Our team provides comprehensive care to address the wide-ranging symptoms of hyperthyroidism, ensuring you receive the support you need for both short-term relief and long-term health.
Thyroid Scingtigraphy
We perform thyroid scintigraphy / Radionucleotide Scan to pinpoint nodules that are actively overproducing thyroid hormones. In some cases, targeted treatment of these nodules can resolve hyperthyroidism entirely, eliminating the need for long-term medication.
